Abstract
  • Beer, nonfat dry milk, fried bacon and microwave baked fish were treated under simulated gastric and extreme nitrosation conditions to estimate their capacity for generation of endogenously formed N-nitrosamines. The level of nitrosamines in beer increased from 0.1 ppb N-nitrosodimethylamine to 0.4 ppb N-nitrosodimethylamine (p < 0.05) under simulated gastric nitrosation. The levels in the other food products were not increased under the same simulated gastric conditions (p < 0.05). Extreme nitrosation illustrated that food has a large nitrosatable amine content. Beer produced elevated levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosodiethylamine, N-nitrosopyrrolidine and N-nitrosomorpholine. Nonfat dry milk produced elevated levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosopiperidine, N-nitrosopyrrolidine and N-nitrosomorpholine. Fish produced elevated levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine and N-nitrosopyrrolidine. Overall, certain food products provide exposure to ample amounts of nitrosatable amines, but it appears that these food products do not produce a significantly increased risk from endogenous N-nitrosamine exposure.
